years, Boudoir and accountability"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p> I&#8217;ll be the first to admit, I am horrible at  keeping up with my blog.&nbsp; Part of me thought that no one was really looking at  it but then the other part was too busy.&nbsp;  I realize that people do look and I am so far  behind that it looked like I wasn&#8217;t doing anything at all.&nbsp; Definitely NOT the  case.&nbsp;  So, I am going to do my best to keep up with it and  share all of the amazing things that happening with Leslie Gilbert  Photography! &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> First, this year marks my 20th Year in business.&nbsp;  Crazy to me to think that 20 years has gone by already.&nbsp; Then I look at my  oldest son and realize, HE is 20 and I started this right after he was born.&nbsp;  I wanted a way to be home with him yet pursue my  passion with photography which is everything that I dreamed of since I was in  6th grade.&nbsp;  &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Besides the wedding side of this business, I am  working on creating one of the areas biggest and most luxurious Boudoir  studios.&nbsp; As I am getting older, and realizing the ups and downs of being a  woman and the power of body positivity.&nbsp;&nbsp; I personally have been working on  myself and my struggle with body dis-morphia.&nbsp; I want to help women see how  amazingly beautiful they are.&nbsp; We as women need to lift each other up instead of  tearing each other down for what isn&#8217;t the normal or what social media is  telling us is what we should look like.&nbsp;  &nbsp; So as I work on me and this blog, keep an eye out  and check back often or even drop me a message of encouragement if you see me  slacking&#8230;&nbsp;  &nbsp; Here&#8217;s to an AMAZING year ahead!&nbsp;&nbsp;  &nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; XOXO, &nbsp; Leslie &nbsp; &nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PS.  playing a little catch up&#8230;. here are my lovely couples from the rest of the year! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul
